美國心理學協會讚揚最高法院婚姻平權裁決

美國心理學協會今天讚揚美國最高法院的做出的同性婚姻合乎憲法的裁決,這個裁決宣布美國憲法禁止任何州對同性婚姻下達禁令,美國心理學協會認為這個裁決維護了所有美國人(不分性取向)的平等權利,這個裁決是在考慮了科學研究的基礎上作出的。
 
“實證研究表明,同性伴侶之間的彼此承諾的親密關係,在心理和社會方麵很大程度上類似於那些異性夥伴關係,”美國心理學協會主席巴裏·安東博士如是說道。 “正如異性伴侶,同性伴侶一樣地形成深厚的情感依戀和對彼此對承諾。異性和同性夫婦都麵臨有關親密,摯愛,公平,忠誠度和持久穩定性等類似的問題,他們經曆類似的過程來解決這些問題。“

基於多年的科學研究結果,美國心理學協會有支持婚姻平權的很長曆史。自從1997年以來美國心理學協會一直支持同性伴侶擁有合法權益,自從2004年開始美國心理學協會就支持同性伴侶享有公民應當享有的合法婚姻權利。
 
美國心理學協會在奧博傑費爾訴霍奇斯一案中提交了專家證詞,在同一案件中與美國心理學協會提交共同專家證詞的還有肯塔基州心理學協會,俄亥俄州心理學協會,美國精神病學會,美國兒科學會,美國婚姻家庭治療學會,密西根州婚姻家庭治療學會,全美社工協會,社會工作者田納西州分會,社會工作者密西根州分會,社會工作者肯塔基州分會,社會工作者俄亥俄州分會,美國精神分析學會,美國家庭醫師學會和美國醫學協會。
 
交給法院的專家證詞提出,科學證據強烈支持這樣的結論,即同性戀是人類性行為的一種正常表達;並且,同性戀男子和女子形成的穩定及彼此承諾的忠誠的關係在最基本的方麵並不遜色於異性戀男女間的關係,同性伴侶並不比異性伴侶在適合成為父母撫養子女方麵遜色;而他們的子女在心理健康和社會適應方麵絲毫不差於其他人;反之,禁止同性伴侶獲取合法婚姻則為歧視同性戀及雙性戀人士大開綠燈。

[偶看]美國高法的婚姻平權裁決是順應自由平等的曆史潮流,2015年6月26日在日曆上是個普通的日子,可是在曆史上卻是人們爭取基本人權的又一個裏程碑,如同取消奴隸,婦女爭取到投票權,結束黑白兒童分校上學,保證數族群不受,是人類社會逐步走向公平正義值得賀的進步,我們居住在這樣一個逐步進步的國家,倍感欣慰,倍感驕傲。

APA Praises Supreme Court Decision Affirming Right to Same-Sex Marriage
Says scientific research formed basis for court’s action
WASHINGTON — The American Psychological Association applauded the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling today that the U.S. Constitution bars states from denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing scientific research as a basis for upholding the equality of all Americans regardless of sexual orientation.
“Empirical research demonstrates that the psychological and social aspects of committed relationships between same-sex partners largely resemble those of heterosexual partnerships,” said APA President Barry S. Anton, PhD. “Like heterosexual couples, same-sex couples form deep emotional attachments and commitments. Heterosexual and same-sex couples alike face similar issues concerning intimacy, love, equity, loyalty and stability, and they go through similar processes to address those issues.”
APA has a long history of supporting equal access to legal marriage based on years of scientific research. APA has supported legal benefits for same-sex couples since 1997 and civil marriage for same-sex couples since 2004. 
APA filed an amicus brief in the case, Obergefell v. Hodges, which was joined by the Kentucky Psychological Association, Ohio Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, Michigan Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, National Association of Social Workers, National Association of Social Workers Tennessee Chapter, National Association of Social Workers Michigan Chapter, National Association of Social Workers Kentucky Chapter, National Association of Social Workers Ohio Chapter, American Psychoanalytic Association, American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Medical Association.
The brief argued that scientific evidence strongly supports the conclusion that homosexuality is a normal expression of human sexuality; that gay men and lesbians form stable, committed relationships that are equivalent to heterosexual relationships in essential respects; that same-sex couples are no less fit than heterosexual parents to raise children, and that their children are no less psychologically healthy and well-adjusted; and that denying same-sex couples access to marriage contributes to the negative treatment of lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
The American Psychological Association, in Washington, D.C., is the largest scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States. APA's membership includes more than 122,500 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students. Through its divisions in 54 subfields of psychology and affiliations with 60 state, territorial and Canadian provincial associations, APA works to advance the creation, communication and application of psychological knowledge to benefit society and improve people's lives.

知道嗎,加拿大的安大略省是全美洲第一個實行同性戀婚姻平權(2001年),也是全世界的第三個地區/國家。最早實行的是荷蘭和比利時。安大略目前的女省長,是公開承認的同性戀者。
